Hold on thar No Po, you only get one poke per rifle per day, as Archie used to say, "Stifle yourself", plus you're already the only two time winner in Morgan's band of brothers  , so you're probably his Sgt. Major  BTW, did you put the ramrod in its proper place before firing?

Do any of you guys have an almost uncontrollable urge to try again after you miss the first time? It was almost all I could do from taking another poke at it. But I instead, started working on the Sgt. York target.  Was drawing a blank when trying to use this contraption today, so I don't know if Nessmuk got my pictures or not. Certainly nothing to write home about. But look on the bright side, I didn't have any misfires.

Just finished it this afternoon.  Three wipes and buffings of Tru-Oil, allowed to cure well, and a final buffed coat of Johnson's Carnuba Car Wax.  Hope to baptize it next week.

Here's today's attempt at the Revolutionary sized target. This is what happens when you use a rifle that has a much lighter trigger pull than your other rifles. Premature shots don't cut the mustard, and don't earn any money from the 49er.  [ Invalid Attachment ]
